Five teams already in the owners’ Championship 4, has never been a winner at Martinsville in his 15 previous appearances. He also qualified for the fastest Chevrolet (which secured the 2022 Manufacturer’s Cup the weekend before).
Chase Elliott (second) qualified as the top of the remaining eight playoff drivers.
Chase Briscoe (third) was the fastest qualifying Ford driver. He’ll have to be the winner of Martinsville before he can move to Championship 4.

Denny Hamlin (11th) qualified as the best of the six Toyota drivers on the grid. Hamlin begins the race five points ahead of William Byron for the final place at Championship 4.
Joey Logano (12th) is the only driver locked into Championship 4 because of his victory in the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway two weeks ago.
Corey LaJoie (14th) has the best starting position on the oval during his Cup career.
